Digital Nature Trail – Package for Venues

The Digital Nature trail is a fun day out exploring Manchester and its environs using the PopupView app to find 3D digital artworks inspired by nature. Visitors to the city download the app and follow the map to find and reveal the artworks using ‘trigger images’ located at different venues across the city.

By hosting images for the trail, venues can take advantage of the PR generated by the experience, increased footfall to their premises, social media buzz about the experience whilst also raising awareness about the value and beauty of nature.

Package for venuesVisioning Lab, organisers of the trail, are offering a 12 month package for venues to participate in the experience, due to launch during National Insect Week June 2020.
